1. Development of titanium-copper alloys for dental applications
Sammanfattning : Titanium alloys find wide application in the medical implants industry, which includes areas of orthopaedic and dental implants. The reason for the popularity of the material is high mechanical strength, low density, and reported growth of bone onto the material, as well as corrosion resistance. LÄS MER
2. Acute encephalitis in childhood : clinical characteristics and outcome with special reference to tick-borne encephalitis
Sammanfattning : Acute encephalitis is relatively uncommon but potentially devastating. The prognosis varies from complete recovery to severe sequelae or death. The diagnosis is difficult to establish and the etiology often remains unclear. LÄS MER
3. Walking the Plank of the Entrepreneurial University : The little spin-out that could?
Sammanfattning : Creating spinout companies (USOs) from university research is one focus of innovation policy. The phenomenon features in two main fields of enquiry: academic entrepreneurship studies, and literature on academic capitalism and the entrepreneurial university. LÄS MER
4. Methods for improving covariate balance in observational studies
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the field of causal inference, where the main interest is to estimate the effect of a treatment on some outcome. At its core, causal inference is an exercise in controlling for imbalance (differences) in covariate distributions between the treated and the controls, as such imbalances otherwise can bias estimates of causal effects.

5. Aerosol Exchange between Forests and the Atmosphere : Fluxes over a Tropical and a Boreal Forest
Sammanfattning : The main goal of this thesis was to investigate primary biogenic aerosol emission from the Amazon rain forest through measurements of vertical turbulent aerosol number fluxes. In addition, the particle dry deposition sink has been analysed and quantified, and is also compared with the dry deposition sink at a boreal forest site. LÄS MER
